X6 enterprise servers

In organizations in every industry, big data and analytics workloads deliver the actionable insight needed to drive faster decision making. You need systems that you can confidently deploy to run your mission-critical applications, decrease operating costs and support your cloud computing plans.

As your business changes and grows, having the ability to address evolving data center needs with systems that provide easy-to-deploy solutions today -- and flexibility for tomorrow -- is critical. X6 servers offer long-term flexibility with a modular design that supports processor and memory technology upgrades to the next generation. As workload demands change– this eliminates the need to “rip and replace"5

X6 servers can help extend the advantages of cloud computing to mission-critical applications. Self-healing processor, I/O and memory features can improve availability by proactively identifying potential failures and taking action to correct them. New System x Upward Integration Modules (UIMs) provide unprecedented hardware visibility to hypervisors for superior system and VM management.

2 The x3850 X6 supports up to 6TB maximum memory vs. 2TB or less for previous-generation competitive 4-socket servers. The x3950 X6 supports up to 12TB maximum memory vs. 4TB or less for previous-generation competitive 8-socket servers.

3 The x3850 X6 without eXFlash DIMMs can support up to 9.6 TB (8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDDs) or up to 12.8 TB (8 x 2.5-inch SSDs) or 6.4 TB (16 x 1.8-inch eXFlash SSDs); for the x3950 X6 these numbers double. Both x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 with eXFlash DIMMs can support up to an additional 12.8TB eXFlash memory-channel storage by leveraging 32 x 400GB eXFlash DIMMs.
